Question
hello,
i was wondering if i was too tall and if it was too late for me to fly?? i am 5'10 and i am going to try out for the college of my dreams! there is only one problem all the girls fly. i have never flown in any competition or anything and I'm super intimidated!! however, i was wondering if you thought it would be a good idea for me to try flying? i want to cheer at this school soooo bad so if you can please help me and shed some advice in my direction that would be super great

Well, it's never too LATE to fly. You are fairly tall, but it's worth a shot. Give yourself a chance because you never know. If this is really the school of your dreams try contacting the coach or someone on the squad and see if you can get some more information. The great thing about taller fliers is that they can look very impressive in the air. Also, does the school have an all-girl squad where you may be able to do something besides fly? That could always be a backup plan of yours. So I would say try flying. You're tall, but you never know. Go for it otherwise you'll always wonder if you should have tried it! Good luck!!! :)

Expertise
I can answer questions on partner stunts, dismounts, basket tosses, choreography, pyramids, jumps, motions, chants, and formations. I can answer questions on tryouts, coaching, general cheerleading, etc. I cannot answer questions on co-ed stunts/pyramids or tumbling. Aside from these areas I can usually answer, or direct you to an answer, on any other topic.
Experience
I've been cheerleading for 10 years. My teams consistently competed at the national level, placing many times. I've coached for the past 5 years, and the team I coached most recently became National Champions. I've cheered at the Pop Warner, High School, and All-Star levels. I coach alongside my mother and sister who have coached at the all-star level as well. I've been watching cheerleading since I was 4, and I can create routines, give advice, and help teach kids how to deal with competitions. I have a knack for coaching and giving advice. I'm always the coach designated to give the pep talks to the kids before competitions.
Education/Credentials
I have been living with cheerleading coaches for 10+ years which teaches more than anyone can imagine. I was captain of my Varsity High School squad which came with the responsibility of picking music, writing a cheer, creating and teaching the routine, and making the formations. I have also coached nationally ranked teams for 5 years.
